PROJECT 1
NIA Centre of the Arts
Year Completed: 2020 Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada This design utilizes a void space in the centre of a mass, to create a ‘hidden gem’ away from the city. The use of the crystal-like form is to represent the culture of Little Jamaica as something beautiful that overtakes the urban context of Toronto (shown as the brick walls). The idea is to attract visitors into the heart of the building to experience the culture and life that is dedicated to the reggae culture that lives in Little Jamaica. Materials are colourful within, and are also seen from the exterior, however, the deeper the visitors get into the building, the more vibrant murals and colours they experience.

PROJECT 2 The Cervelo Museum
Year Completed: 2020 Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada The work being showcased at this museum are Cervelo Bicycles, a Canadian Speed / Sport Bicycle company. This company supports many different cyclist teams and events, and promoting the sport of cycling. By promotng this sport and cycling, this company also promotes a healthy lifestyle and wellbeing. This design incorperates different attempts at being a more sustainable building in comparison to the others in the site surroundings. In addition, the different geometries that are commonly found in bicycles, such as circles and rectangles, are prominent in the geometries of this museum. Researching Cervelo, it is evident that one of the main goals for their bicycle designs is fluidity - in the sense that all parts of the bike work together in order for the best performance. The idea of fluidity flows through this design, having an open concept in public spaces, it allows for fluid circulation, and for easy connection to all public spaces. In addition to adhering to the analysis of the clients work, this design also contributes to the characteristics of its site. Bloor and Church street is home to many large office towers, thus the lack of greenery in this space. The museum inroduces a lot of greenery not only for aesthetic purposes in the site, but to also create a small ‘oasis’ of greenery in a site that is full of towering office buildings.

PROJECT 3 Gravenhurst Bunky
Year Completed: 2020 Location: Gravenhurst, Ontario This design was created for a family as a detatch bunky for their cottage in Gravenhurst. The client wanted an incredible view of Lake Muskoka with a modern, yet natural design aesthetic. The wood interior details, as well as the exterior wood cladding provide a connection to the natural context, as well as the stone porch which responds to the site materials as well.

TREES: Trees are one of the most consistent natural elements of the site, accounting for a lot of the site area. With this in mind, it became one of the most significant materials that were used in this design. TOPOGRAPHY: It was important to consider the drastic changes in topography levels in order to determine different types of structure that can be used as foundation. STONE / ROCK: Uneasy and moveable surface, so it is important to have an extremely strong foundation to prevent weathering. Therefore, footings would be most reliable as concrete. 19

PROJECT 4 12 Martin Road Winery
Year Completed: 2019 Location: Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario, Canada While analyzing the site of 12 Martin Road in the Niagara Region of Ontario, it was evident that the site was dull, and had very little character during the harvesting season. Creating a winery that can effectively bring life and character to this site is crucial. To do this, the winery must not take away from the importance of the site. The concept of this winery is to be a gradual threshold between the natural aspects of wine making to the manufacturing of wine. With the use of oak wood, which is one of the most common tree species of niagara, curtain walls, and a courtyard, this winery connects the site to the design itself. By using Oak wood, it allows for a subtle and light feeling, rather than using something dense and heavy such as steel. The curtain walls create a translucent experience in public areas, making the flow from the vineyards to the production area progressive. Lastly, the courtyard encourages guests to experience the new life and sensation of the site, and to really embrace the winery.

Ryerson E-Sports Cafe
Year Completed: 2020 Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Additional Group Members: Alvin Huang, Bill Feng, Caleb Culmone, Justin Leiberman E-sports and gaming has been upcoming in the more recent decades. As part of the new E-sports popularity wave, Ryerson is now beginning to establish a new club called “Ryerson E-sports�, where students and other members can be a part of the experience. The space is dedicated to the use of individual gaming and streaming, as well as competition spaces for groups of friends and teams can game as well. With LED lights, a gaming trophy wall, and may LED and monitor screens, the space provides a tech savvy atmosphere. This design is the inspiration for the new club space in the Ryerson Communications Centre Building, that will hopefully be recreated and built in the upcoming years.

PROJECT 6 Light House
Year Completed: 2020 Location: Tokyo, Japan Competition: ACSA 2020 Housing Competition Supervisor: Vincent Hui This residential complex “Light House�, is equipped to tackle housing demands while also attempting to solve some societal and sustainability issues in Tokyo. It is very common in Japan and many other Asian cultures to live with generations of family members under one household. Tokyo is also wellknown for its small-scale houses, however, this becomes an issue as the spaces are too small to fit families. Light House utilizes space with taller ceilings heights to provide enough space for large families, without feeling overcrowded.

PROJECT 7 Masya Glamping Villa
Year Completed: 2020 Location: Selong Belanak Beach, Indonesia Competition: PREFAB Glamping Villa Partner: Zulaiha Zaiba This glamping villa is designed to be a perfect composition of traditional and simple Balinese architecture, integrated with modern touches. The form is a simple encapsulating curve that mimics a hug, to replicate a feeling of coziness and comfort to its inhabitants. The overhanging canopy is integrated with the surrounding villas in such a manner that it creates a natural pathway between them, which strengthens the sense of community (or Masyarakat in Indonesian). Patios are designed in both the front and back of the villas so that its occupants can always enjoy the view of the beach, regardless of its orientation.
